Who’s Playing?

Survival games in the clouds—who’s playing? The pieces
if you want to? It’s up to you. I’m not sure. Are you sure? Let’s
be clear on one thing: there are several ways to play—nuance;
can you read these instructions? Somewhere between complex
and deep we sit, high: have you started? We haven’t started. If anyone knows
any cheats that don’t last, those being the audience

also, here’s a laugh: what are we playing at? It’s a game
for oneself; I’m reading the cover now. OK it looks a lot like snakes
and/or skins of thereof? I think I’m ready! Can I be the boo- But why’s it wrong
to be the boot? So it isn’t up to me, after all! And I wasn’t saying
“boo”. In fact—you scared me! Can we not just start again? No I don’t find
the rules surreal; yet here we are: I should have been the oligarch.
